Chapter 410: The Jewel Old Man Disappeared?

"Wait, wait! Wait for me—!"

"What, what did you just say? Daughter, daughter... daughter?"

Inside the low-key luxurious Western-style Mansion.

Looking at the handsome youth before her, who spoke such words with a serious expression, and even formally handed over something like an invitation letter—or rather, an invitation letter...

Rin widened her beautiful eyes, only feeling that everything was not right.

What's going on? Originally worried about whether someone had sneaked away, but suddenly discovered there was no need to worry at all, because the competition had already ended?

"Yeah, I have a daughter, is that strange?"

The youth smiled and nodded, then shook his arm.

The red invitation letter in his hand was so dazzling.

"......"

"......"

Miss Tohsaka took a deep breath, trying to relieve the pressure in her head with this, but it was obvious the effect was minimal.

Ah ah, this is what they call a sudden blow to the head, right...

Or should it be called a sudden heavy blow to the head, which would be more appropriate?

For a moment she completely didn't know what to say, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head, and even completely forgot what she had been excitedly wanting to do just now.

Because the girl had just received a phone call, conveying news from London, which made her whole person excited.

Saying that the patent application for related magic theory had passed, including the possibility of creating Imaginary Number Rings, establishing address mapping for personal Magic Bank vaults through Diannao Kongjian... and so on and so forth.

Probably also riding the trend of this special period.

Power that should have caused quite a stir in the Magic World, and the Magic Bank concept that attracted many covetous people...

Announcing it at this time was almost just making noise for nothing.

No one paid attention.

Whether it was the Noble Families of the Mystery Side, or the Financial Demon Kings standing in related fields, their minds were not on this matter.

So plus the Tohsaka Family had some foundation and connections after all, it passed the review very easily at this time.

But thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be natural.

After all, during this period, the Magic World had been shaken again and again, because of the bomb dropped by someone before, blowing everything into chaos.

——Computer Magecraft...

——Consciousness output port...

——Soul materialization of the network world...

These were the hottest search keywords nowadays, everyone was trying every means to chase the trend, trying hard to force a connection, hoping to stand on this wave and fly to the sky.

Powerful forces, those Noble Families, painstakingly wanted to monopolize the market, formulate rules...

Even more, they wanted to investigate the source of the unsigned Magecraft Thesis from back then, investigate who was behind the scenes who built the framework of that Diannao Kongjian early on, who was operating and controlling...

If possible, they wanted to find a way to take it over.

As for those without much power, or individual Magicians fighting alone wanting to stand out, they didn't have such delusions.

They just painstakingly wanted to study the principles of Computer Magecraft clearly, to see if they could get some scraps, and slightly get a share of the soup.

Original Tasks, if they had even a little connection with this aspect, then they had to increase efforts, desperately leaning towards this aspect.

And if the original Task had no relationship with this aspect at all, truly being the kind that Da Bu Shang...

——Then they had to increase efforts even more, desperately forcing a connection.

Chasing the trend, nothing wrong with that.

Moreover, not chasing the trend is not chasing it, now even pigs know this is the next big trend, all resources will pour towards this aspect...

If you don't chase the trend, how can you obtain investment, how can you make people look favorably on your Task?

Don't think the Magic World doesn't have Academic Cliques and hangers-on, this kind of thing exists everywhere, only the difference between serious and more serious.

So speaking of which—

Under such circumstances, the application submitted by the Tohsaka Family was naturally regarded as part of chasing the trend.

The general trend, fish and dragons mixed together, mixed in among them, appearing so inconspicuous.

Naturally would not attract too much attention.

After all, who could have thought, when everyone was chasing the trend, you were playing for real?

And realizing what such smooth passage meant, Miss Tohsaka was of course excited, impatiently wanting to share this good news...

But—

She hadn't had time to share her good news yet...

Xia Zhi had already shared a good news with her first...

"......"

"......"

Looking at her sister completely petrified due to the huge information impact.

Sakura behind Rin curiously poked her head out, then extended her slender white tender small hand, and took over that invitation letter.

It looked quite standard.

The material seemed quite ordinary, the patterns and designs were also very simple, without too many fancy things.

The purple-haired girl weighed the invitation letter in her hand, hesitantly opening her mouth: "Senior, you already have a daughter? I haven't heard about it?"

"Mainly it's a recent thing, before this there indeed wasn't."

Xia Zhi smiled and opened his mouth.

This was also true.

"Eh? Eh? Eh? Re-recently——!!"

Rin's voice directly rose by a good several decibels.

She stared with wide eyes in disbelief, simultaneously keenly capturing the key phrase that defied common sense: "Wait!"

"If it's recently, how could... how could a Coming-of-Age Ceremony be held directly?"

This completely should not be!

"Is there any connection between these two?"

Xia Zhi blinked, asking back with some doubt.

"What nonsense are you saying? A child is born, don't they need time to grow up?" The black-haired pigtails girl was so angry her chest hurt.

"Not needed, because she was only adopted recently."

The youth answered righteously and confidently.

"What? You say adopted... Eh? Wait, ad-adopted?!" Tohsaka-san still raised her voice in a conditioned reflex, however immediately afterward, she abruptly realized what she had heard.

"Yeah——" Xia Zhi nodded repeatedly, thought for a bit, and added: "She's an adopted daughter."

"..."

"..."

The air fell quiet for a time.

The atmosphere in the Living Room also became somewhat strange, silent enough to hear a pin drop.

"How about it? Rin... want to go?"

Xia Zhi coughed lightly, breaking the quiet, "I just sent invitations to Ou Ti and the others too, they all decided to come support the event too......"

"Of course, if you've been comparatively busy recently, you actually don't have to——"

"No——! I'm going!" Tohsaka-san suddenly spoke, forcefully cutting off his words, "I'm of course going! How could this not be supported!"

She seemed to have suddenly gotten spirited, her Mors Momentum also fiercely surging upward.

If forced to describe it, probably the background behind her instantly burned fiercely, or accompanied by waves crashing against the Reef......

Simultaneously, two giant characters enlarged by special effects slowly rose——"Loser Dog"......

Cough cough, wrong, not this one.

An-anyway, Tohsaka-san just suddenly filled with motivation, her Mors Momentum completely becoming different.

She stared intently at Xia Zhi with bright eyes, simultaneously extending a hand, palm spread upward, posing in a gesture of asking for something.

"What?"

"The invitation!"

"One invitation is enough, you and Sakura can both use it......" The youth shook his head, but still handed over another one.

The black-haired pigtails girl hummed twice, also took the invitation and began careful observation: "Isn't this a symbolic etiquette, and also has a quota restriction?"

"Mainly serves a function similar to a 'Door Key', just bringing you guys over......"

Xia Zhi explained.

"Huh? What is a 'Door Key'?" Tohsaka-san frowned.

"Oh, just treat it as a kind of magic Teleportation Device, destination preset in advance, when used, it will directly teleport the person over......"

Tohsaka-san pouted her lips, then carefully pondered the invitation in hand: "Huh, this name...... Bawan Xi? Baobhan-Sith?"

She raised an eyebrow, raising her eyes with some surprise: "Isn't this the female Fairy from the legends of the Highlands of Scotland?"

"Even the meaning of the name itself means 'female fairy', said to be a Vampire......"

"..."

"..."

"To a certain extent that's it, just a version belonging to a different parallel world, so there are huge differences."

Xia Zhi coughed lightly, explaining: "However, she is indeed a Fairy, this point hasn't changed."

"Like that......"

Tohsaka-san nodded in understanding, then let out a long breath.

At this, the doubts in her heart all went, no more the previous suspicion. Because it looked like, it was indeed an adopted daughter.

"Right, Rin, that cheap ancestor of your Tohsaka Family, can you contact him now?"

At this time, the youth spoke again to ask.

"What do you mean cheap ancestor......" Rin muttered a sentence, immediately shaking her head: "Of course can't contact, the ancestor is probably traveling in other worlds, what about it?"

"Nothing, just feel...... he ultimately counts as having a bit of connection, if possible, I also want to send him an invitation."

Xia Zhi said without changing expression.

Because ORT is Different From his situation, ultimately impossible to grasp the complete Second Magic again, so also impossible to converge the uniqueness of unlimited possibilities.

But this instead is even more ferocious......

Because it won't become the sole existence among the many parallel worlds.

But co-exists in the many parallel worlds, and like a Virus mutually spreading, one wakes up equals all wake up.

Therefore——

Xia Zhi is now also simultaneously in different World Lines, handling ORT's situation.

But the big Spider's problem isn't a problem......

Rather the Gem Old Man, seems to have a bit of a missing trace......

Where did he run off to? Observing unlimited parallel worlds, didn't discover his trace on Earth, could it be in some Spacetime, directly roaming the star seas?

Or perhaps——

Simply already no longer in this Universe's Causality?

He mused like this, then fixed his gaze and glanced at the Void, crossing the Time River, seeing the end of Humans and even Stars.

What one constantly thinks of will surely echo back.

At his current Realm, he only needed to operate Divine Will, using his Primordial Spirit to illuminate, and Heavenly Secrets would naturally reveal themselves, no longer completely obscured.

Under the faint pull of Qi mechanisms——

A future faintly appeared.

As if leading to a vast Universe where "sun, moon, and myriad stars naturally float in the Void Point, their movements all requiring Qi."

Although it was only an Instant……

It vanished like a dream, illusion, bubble, or shadow, submerged among countless Probability Planes……

However, Xia Zhi still raised an eyebrow.

"You still plan to send out invitations?" On the other side, Miss Tohsaka hadn't thought too much, asking casually.

"Of Course, social relations must be Maintained, after all……"

The youth Withdrew his Gaze, Laughing Gently.

Next stop——

Is the Information Integration Thought Entity's side.

He can now talk with them, or rather He, about deepening cooperation.
